Delivery Manager

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Delivery Manager to work with our global systems integrator client, supporting a number of high-profile discovery initiatives across a large-scale business transformation programme. You will play a key role in leading the successful delivery of multiple concurrent discovery projects, ensuring multidisciplinary teams remain aligned, engaged, and focused on delivering high-quality outcomes.

This is initially a 4-month assignment starting as soon as possible, with a predominantly remote, UK-based working arrangement and occasional travel to client sites in Bristol, Blackpool, or a client office location for workshops, stakeholder engagement activities, and project kick-off sessions.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Delivery Management professional who enjoys hands-on delivery, stakeholder engagement, and leading multidisciplinary teams through complex discovery and transformation initiatives.

All candidates must hold or be eligible to undergo SC clearance prior to starting in the role.

About the Role

We are seeking a Delivery Manager to oversee the delivery of two concurrent discovery projects, allocating time across both workstreams to ensure successful outcomes. You will work closely with User Researchers, Service Designers, Content Designers, Business Analysts, Product stakeholders, and technical teams to plan, coordinate, and manage delivery activities throughout the discovery lifecycle.

The role is delivery-focused, ensuring projects are effectively governed, risks and dependencies are actively managed, and stakeholders remain informed and engaged. You will be responsible for facilitating collaboration across multidisciplinary teams while maintaining momentum, managing priorities, and ensuring delivery commitments are achieved.

You will act as the primary point of coordination between project teams and client stakeholders, supporting effective decision-making and helping establish a clear path from discovery into future delivery phases.
